Twelve days after its attack by suicide
bombers, the Zaventem Airport Brussels is set to partially reopen on
Sunday with new security controls.
This was confirmed by Brussels Airport Chief Executive Officer, Arnaud Feist, who said that he was expecting to receive official authorisation for the reopening later in the day.
Airport authorities also confirmed that
three Brussels Airline’s flights would depart for European destinations.
The first flight from the airport, which has not handled passenger
flights since the attack on its departure hall claimed by the so-called
Islamic State group, was expected to take off in the early afternoon for
the Portuguese city of Faro, while the other two would be bound for the
Greek capital Athens and Turin, Italy.
According to BBC News, the new security
measures put in place at the airport include, screening vehicles and
passengers travelling to the temporary departures area and placing an
additional police check and ID and boarding pass check at the entrance
to the temporary departures area.
Meanwhile, Belgian authorities have
charged a third suspect, identified only as Y A, with terrorist offences
linked to a plot to attack France.
